Mr. Mayo and I share the same driveway, at least we did last week. Here's a shot of the backyard. There's two trucks back there. I don't think they're moving anytime soon. I don't know what's worse....Winter snow?, or Spring mud?

Havi,

I personally like the snow better but unfortunately, it's always followed either by the blasted cold, early in the season, or the sloppy mud, at this time of year.

I live in both worlds.....cold Ohio and Hot Florida.......but mostly stay in Ohio.
Seems like I am always on route 75 and need to go back in May to the warm weather.
Maybe it will be warm in Ohio by the time I get back...LOL
DECEMBER-MAY in Florida AND MAY-DECEMBER in Ohio.........Bill

well winter for me is a way of life I agree with bob for the most part however I can handle -30c better than +30c I just cant handle the heat at all I guess after years of freezing my *** off Ive gotten climatized we are 4 hours from the tree line and tundra that in the spring brings black flys the size of bumble bees One bite and you bleed trust me im considering a move but the economy in Alberta is only mildly affected by the recession so i guess it stay put for a while longer But good long days in my heated garage makes for good improvment on the 52 which will be assembled shortly cant wait

One more week of this weather (+45F) and I'll be on the road! Our steep driveway is composed of ice, slush and mud. Our neighborhood streets are really muddy. But 7 days more of above freezing temps and I'll be grinding through the gears on the 3 on the tree!
